    The way I like to do it is:

    - In the bottom of a bowl, add ground Sezchuan (sp?) pepper, finely sliced spring onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and chilli oil (obviously, reasonable proportions of each);
    - add cooked ramen with a bit of the cooking water (though not much, I hate it extra-watery/brothy) - do NOT use any of the flavourings/packets included in the ramen;
    - mix everything together;
    - top with sliced steak, cooked medium;
    - squeeze some more lime juice on top, garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander, and maybe some finely sliced fresh chili.

    Hey presto, job done.

    • Also, adding grated lime zest to the rest in step one is quite nice.Continuity
    • Try slicing the steak as thin as possible and add to the bottom of the bowl as well, The hot broth will cook it right there.Akagiyama
    • The beef would lose some of its flavour though, from boiling, as opposed to frying.Continuity
    • Hmm that's true...Akagiyama
